Vaccinating your dog has long been considered one of the easiest ways to help him live a long, healthy life.

Owner Profile: The Cesar Millan Wannabe. | The Dog Snobs Description: We all know them, none of us love them. That’s right- The Cesar Millan Wannabe (CMW). Whether you are a fan of CM or want him to burn in the lowest pit of hell, you have to admit this person is annoying. Really, really, annoying. The entirety of their dog knowledge is gained from reading CM’s books and watching his program religiously. Their own dog is usually terribly behaved and completely ignores CM’s most often used catchphrase “Tsst”. His hero, his teacher, his man-crush. Common Locations: Dog parks, where they can impart their “knowledge” on innocent bystanders and demonstrate alpha rolls on unsuspecting dogs. Even the dogs are doing it. Wardrobe: “Be the Pack Leader” and “Leader of the Pack” t-shirts, rollerblades, fanny packs and dog packs strapped on each hip. Manny pack in so-so many ways. That’s a funny noise you’re making. Skill Level: Very Very low, the CMW has never spoken to an actual trainer other than to tell them what they are doing is completely wrong.
Tamaskan Club of America™- Home Bear dog Wiki Taxonomy[edit] An artist's reconstruction of a bear dog Amphicyonidae were named by Haeckel (1886) [also attributed to Trouessart 1885]. It was assigned to Carnivora by Sach and Heizmann (2001); to Arctoidea by Hunt (2001), Hunt (2002) and Hunt (2002); affirmed as Arctoidea by Zhai et al. (2003); affirmed to Arctoidea by Carroll (1988), Hunt (1998) and Wang et al. (2005); and to Caniformia by Morlo et al. (2007).[2][3][4] Origins[edit] Amphicyonids, often referred to as "bear dogs", crossed from Europe to North America during the Miocene epoch and are considered an Old World taxon. Evolution[edit] While amphicyonids have traditionally been viewed as closely related to ursids (bears), some evidence suggests they may instead be basal caniforms. During the early Miocene, a number of large amphicyonids migrated from Eurasia into North America.
